TUCSON — The headline on the final print edition of Saturday’s Tucson Citizen said it all: Our epitaph.
The 48-page commemorative edition of Arizona’s oldest daily newspaper was filled with individual columns from editors and staffers and highlights of the Citizen’s 138 years of publication.
On Friday, Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard’s office filed a motion to halt the closure, contending that Gannett and Lee Enterprises, publisher of the morning Arizona Daily Star, had violated antitrust statutes by agreeing to close the Citizen.
